PROJECT PLASTIC 2018: See the 5 final candidates - and some of the other great projects

PROJECT PLASTIC 2018: See the projects from 2018

First, we selected 11 great PROJECT PLASTIC-projects. Out these, we then chose five final candidates that will be invited to picth at Plastic Engineering Day. See them all here.

PROJECT PLASTIC is our talent competition for engineering students. The purpose is to celebrate the talented students that as part of their degree lead the way in how to use plastic materials to create innovative solutions.

We have received a lot of exiting ideas, projects and assignments. Out of these, we first chose the 11 best candidates. Then we narrowed it down to five final candidates. See them all below

The five finalist will be part of the final show down at Plastic Engieering Day at DTU the 25th of October. Here, they will pitch their ideas and results to the audience and our panel of experts (Joachim Lysemose for LEGO, Pernille Guldager from Coloplast and Jens Thor Hansen from Engel). The judges will together with the audience select the winner of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd price.

Plastic Engineering Day is no doubt the event of the year for engineering students with an interest in plastic materials! It is totally free (inlcuding a sandwich, snacks and transportation) – so make sure to sign up (click here)!

Analyse og udviklingsarbejde med fokus på optimering af proces og højere plastkvalitet hos plastgenanvendelsesfabrik i Kenya.

Projektet Trebo, som nu er blevet til en startup, bidrager med at gøre plastindustrien mere bæredygtig. Trebo har udviklet en ny metode og maskine der kan sortere fuldstændigt blandede plastmængder.

With Laser Direct Structuring, it is possible to trace electrical circuits directly on the surface of plastics. This will increase robustness and design freedom when developing medical devices.

DrinkSaver er et plastik produkt, hvis funktion er at mindske spild, uden at mindske drikkeoplevelsen. Designet er udformet i en rem af plastlameller, som stopper eventuelle spild på en diskret måde.

ECO Tray er en håndbagagebakke i genbrugsplast til security i lufthavne. ECO Tray bidrager til grøn omstilling via cirkulær økonomi. Det nye bakkedesign forbedrer både ansatte og passagerers oplevelse uden at gå på kompromis med sikkerheden.

Projektet belyser ny viden omkring overfladebehandling og indholdsoptimering af nylon 6 i sprøjtestøbte neodym magneter. Projektet kan bidrage til en grøn omstilling, ved at gøre det muligt at genanvende eksisterende magneter.

SOFTTOOLING enables manufacturing companies to produce high precision polymer parts for a fraction of the price compared to current tooling methods. Even better, lead times are reduced from typically 4+ weeks down to a matter of days.

Vi har designet en let og sammenfoldelig beholder ud fra designprincipper fra cirkulær økonomi, der er skabt til at blive genbrugt og medbragt som emballage til tørvarer købt i et løssalgssystem.

The optimisation of injection-compression-moulding in Fresnel lens production enhances the replication quality of polymer optics. For the task, the use of optical metrology leads to innovative ways to manufacture plastic products.

Projektet var baseret på at udvikle en ny Makro sampler til Radiometer's nye blod gasanalysator (ABL 900).

Projektet belyser ny viden omkring overfladebehandling og indholdsoptimering af nylon 6 i sprøjtestøbte neodym magneter.

This project uses low technology to transform plastic waste into low-cost construction materials. The design is made exclusively with available materials and existing technology in emerging countries.

Dette projekt havde til formål at afprøve et fuldt forretningskoncept med design, udvikling, prototyper, fremstilling og afsætning af en lanterne fremstillet i plastik.
